That is not necessarily unorthodox. When Christians call God 'Father',
we are using a metaphor. The Bible in one place refers to God as being
like a mother. God is neither a father nor a mother in the literal
sense; God has some of the attributes of both; the father metaphor is
usually used because (for most people at most times) it is the less
misleading of the two possibilities.

There's a lot of evidence, it just hasn't been adequately gathered and
published in a way that will convince the die-hard melancholic skeptics
who quiver everytime the word 'anecdote' or 'empirical' is used.
For example, Dr. Ivker, who wrote the book "Sinus Survival", always gives,
before any other treatment, a systemic anti-fungal (such as Nizoral) to his
new patients IF they've been on braod-spectrum anti-biotics 4 or more times
in the last two years. He's kept a record of the results, and for over
2000 patients found that over 90% of his patients get significant relief
of allergic/sinus symptoms. Of course, this is only the beginning for his
program.
In my case, as I reported a few weeks ago, I was developing the classic
symptoms outlined in 'The Yeast Connection' (I agree it is a poorly
written book): e.g., extreme sensitivity to plastics, vapors, etc. which
I never had before (started in November). Within one week of full dosage
of Sporanox, the sensitivity to chemicals has fully disappeared - I can
now sit on my couch at home without dying after two minutes. I'm also
*greatly* improved in other areas as well.
Of course, I have allergy symptoms, etc. I am especially allergic to
molds, yeasts, etc. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that
if one has excessive colonization of yeast in the body, and you have a
natural allergy to yeasts, that a threshold would be reached where you
would have perceptible symptoms. Also, yeast do produce toxins of various
sorts, and again, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that
such toxins can cause problems in some people. In my case it was sinus
since that's the center of my allergic response. Of course, the $60,000
question is whether a person who is immune compromised (as tests showed I was
from over 5 years of antibiotics, nutritionally-deficiencies because of the
stress of infections and allergies, etc.), can develop excessive yeast
colonization somewhere in the body. It is a tough question to answer since
testing for excessive yeast colonization is not easy. One almost has to
take an empirical approach to diagnosis. Fortunately, Sporanox is relatively
safe unlike past anti-fungals (still have to be careful, however) so there's
no reason any longer to withhold Sporanox treatment for empirical reasons.
BTW, some would say to try Nystatin. Unfortunately, most yeast grows hyphae
too deep into tissue for Nystatin to have any permanent affect. You'll find
a lot of people who are on Nystatin all the time.
In summary, I appreciate all of the attempts by those who desire to keep
medicine on the right road. But methinks that some who hold too firmly
to the party line are academics who haven't been in the trenches long enough
actually treating patients. If anybody, doctors included, said to me to my
face that there is no evidence of the 'yeast connection', I cannot guarantee
their safety. For their incompetence, ripping off their lips is justified as
far as I am concerned.

I'm a biker and a dog-lover.
First and foremost, I want to mention some common sense. If it's a choice
between injuring/killing a dog or getting yourself injured/killed, there is
only one rational decision. Only the most insane animal rights kook would put
the dog first.
Second, it's useful to learn how to read a dog's body language. How you react
to a dog who is chasing you because he thinks it's a game (and that you're
playing with him) is completely different from how you react to a dog which
has hostile intent.
Third, it's useful to learn how to present yourself to a dog. Dogs are social
beasts, and recognize a domination/submission hierarchy. To a dog, there are
two types of fellow-creatures; that which he dominates, and that which
dominate him. You need to unambiguously represent yourself as being of the
latter class. You are God: you are easily angered and your anger is terrible.
But God is also amused by one who properly submits to His dominance, and may
even on rare occasions dispense a kind word, a kind word, or even (oh joy oh
rapture unforeseen) A Dog Bisquit!
Now, how does that all relate to biking? Well, first, it's a good idea to
assume that most dogs who chase motorcycles do so because they think it's a
game, and not out of overt hostility. The MSF suggestion is a very good one;
when you see the dog coming, slow down so he determines a particular place of
interception. Just before you (and he) reach that spot, punch the throttle so
that when he reaches it you're already long gone. Dogs take a few seconds to
react to new input, and definitely cannot comprehend the acceleration that a
motorcycle is capable of.
With a hostile dog, or one which you repeatedly encounter, stronger measures
may be necessary. This is the face off. First -- and there is very important
-- make sure you NEVER face off a dog on his territory. Face him off on the
road, not on his driveway. If necessary, have a large stick, rolled up
newspaper, etc. (something the beast will understand is something that will
hurt him). Stand your ground, then slowly advance. Your mental attitude is
that you are VERY ANGRY and are going to dispense TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT. The
larger the dog, the greater your anger.
Dogs will pick up anger, just as they can pick up fear. And, since you and he
are not on his home territory, it may suddenly dawn on the dog that perhaps he
is on your territory, and that you are prepared to fight to the death.
Most dogs will decide that it is a good idea to retreat to their own territory
where there is at least a home advantage. They'll also observe that you are
satisfied by that retreat (gesture of submission) and thus they have escaped
punishment.
The interesting thing about dogs is that body language communicates a great
deal to them. The more effective you are at communicating body language, the
less you actually have to do. After 7 years with my 93 pound beast, I've
learned a few tricks I think...

The San Francisco Examiner reports that Clinton has issued instructions
to federal law enforcement that they may not kill or injure anyone to
resolve the Waco situation. So they've built a fence around the compound,
and are now seriously considering building up the fence to prison-camp

Each disk is checked and formatted with DOS 5.0. It can be doubled to
20Mb or so with dblspace or stacker if you so desire. Have the original IBM

This is really uncalled for.
You cannot expect a European, growing up in a culture of "rulers" and
"subjects," to immediately grasp the concepts of individual independence
and citizen sovereignity in the US.
He's less at fault than the countrymen we have here who also can't grasp it.

That's right, and this is pretty impossible, right? It would be ideal if
we could believe for a while, just to try out religion, and only then
determine which course of thought suits us best. But again, this is not
possible. Not that religion warrants belief, but the belief carries with
it some psychological benefits. There are also some psychological
burdens, too.

Well, if there were some psychological or other benefits gained from racism,
they could only be fully understood or judged by persons actually "believing"
in racism. Of course, the parallel happens to be a poor one, but you
originated it.

Perhaps you're using the wrong brand! (Sorry all HP fans, but I have
a hard time being convinced that their scopes match the rest of their
(excellent) gear).
One of the principal functions I look for when considering a DSO is
whether you can turn interpolation off. The other important feature
is to disable repetitive waveform acquisition i.e. being able to lock
the instrument into real time capture mode.

I agree with you here. The only consolation is that manufacturers are
_beginning_ to pay attention to ergonomics when designing the menus.
However, to be fair, it seems that first time scope users (our students)
seem to adjust to menus easier than navigating around the twenty or
more knobs required of a "real" scope :-)

This is one area that newer DSOs are addressing. I recently evaluated
the latest box from Tek - their TDS320 - which seems to be a worthy
alternative to a standard 100MHz analogue CRO. This instrument has
a 100MHz, 500Ms/s spec, meaning that it is _always_ in real time
capture mode. The pricing also matches equivalent analogue scopes in
the range. The downer is that the instrument uses menus again, but at
least they appear to be logically laid out.

One more thing about the new, "simpler", front panels. These instruments
tend to use digital rotary encoders as knobs now. This is a vast improvement
over the old oak switch. The single most common cause of failure in our
scopes (other than students blowing up inputs!) is mechanical wear on these
switches. I look at the new panels as a great step toward increasing the
longevity of the instruments.

There is a confusion here about what "bodily resources" constitutes. Blood
transfusions and organ donations involve bodily resources; your examples
do not.

I have never seen such immaturity among semitophiles. This
Andi Beyer character shows no signs of anti semitism, yet
because he deviates from the norm of accepted opinion, you
attack him. Why did not anyone venture to answer Andi's
question in an intelligent and unoffending manner? The only

{assuming you are also semitic}
Now I have a comment concerning Israeli terrorism
during the 1930's and 1940's. The Hirgun, and other branch -
off militant groups, did fight the British do get them out of
Palestine. Yet I fail to see how this Israeli form of
terrorism was better than the terrorism practiced now by the
Arabs. These Jewish terrorist groups killed innocent British
soldiers, but not only thta also killed many Jews who were in
favor of a compromise with the Palestinians. In addition, they
massacred an entire Palestinian village in 1948, contributing
to the exodus of the frightened Palestinians who feared their
very lives.
I mention this not because I'm anti semitic [I'm part
Jewish] but because this self righteousness on the part of the
Israelites pisses me off so. I'm not as critical of the
Palestinians because they were indeed screwed over by the
Jews. It 's a damn shame that the Palestinians had to pay for
German and European anti semitism.

Not that I know of, I bought two copies, had some problems with one

Has anyone found a fix for the following problem?
Client Software: SunOs 4.1.1, X11R5
Server Hardware: Sun IPC
Server Software: SunOs 4.1.1, Open Windows 3.0 (w/ patch 100444-37)
A Motif 1.2.2 application will periodically hang when run against the
OpenWindows 3.0 server (xnews). The pulldown is displayed but then no
button actions have any effect. Sometimes pressing <Return> will
unstick the application but not usually. It looks like the pulldown is
grabbing the focus and never letting go. Other windows on the display
continue to get updated so the server isn't hanging. If I log in from
another terminal and kill the Motif application then everything gets
back to normal. The same application when run against other X servers
(including MIT X11R5 Xsun, DecWindows, Tektronix X terminal) has no
problems. This is obviously a OpenWindows problem but I need a
work-around since most of our customers are OpenWindows users.
I have tried the following things:
1. Installing the latest version of the OpenWindows server patch
(100444-37).
2. Using mwm (version 1.2.2) instead of olwm.
3. Applying the patch specified in the Motif FAQ (question 110).
This had the effect of disabling the point-and-click method of
menu interaction (as opposed to the click-and-drag method), and
screwing up the menu mnemonics keys. It did seem to help, but I
was still able to get the application to hang.
Repeat By:
This is an intermittent problem so you'll have to try several times.
Click and release on a menu heading (pulldown menu will pop up)
Click and release on a menu item
Repeat until application hangs
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

These laws written for the Israelites, God's chosen people whom God had
expressly set apart from the rest of the world. The Israelites were a
direct witness to God's existence. To disobey God after KNOWing that God
is real would be an outright denial of God and therefore immediately punishable.
Remember, these laws were written for a different time and applied only to
God's chosen people. But Jesus has changed all of that. We are living in the
age of grace. Sin is no longer immediately punishable by death. There is
repentance and there is salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. And not just
for a few chosen people. Salvation is available to everyone, Jew and Gentile
alike.
God be with you,

Seems he didn't understand anything about realities, liar, lunatic

Sigh, it seems religion makes your mind/brain filter out anything

So anyone that thinks the possibilities with Jesus is bound to the

The Command Loss Timer is part of the fault protection scheme of the
spacecraft. If the Command Loss Timer ever countdowns to zero, then the
spacecraft assumes it has lost communications with Earth and will go
through a set of predetermined steps to try to regain contact. The
Command Loss Timer is set to 264 hours and reset about once a week during
the cruise phase, and is set to a lower value during an encounter phase.

They light the highways in Texas? Funny, everywhere else I've been

I suspect you have very limited experience -- US freeways vary
dramatically, particularly between states. I can name a number of
interstate highways in various parts of the country where 130 would be
very optimistic in any car.
I'm not sure what you call "quite severe" in terms of road deviations
but I suspect every single bridge junction on I84 through CT would be
considered so. They're hard to take at 85mph. That's not the only
interstate I've seen with such deviations, but it's one I drive
frequently.
Texas is pretty much an edge-case -- you can't assume that everywhere
has roads in such good condition, such flat terrain, and such
wide-open spaces. It just ain't so.

I have yet to see any evidence of *this*, either. From what I hear the

"unsealed" seem to be warrants taken out after the initial raid.

Funny, I haven't seen any of these "interviews."
Interesting that when the social services agencies investigated Koresh on
these previous charges, they found absolutely no evidence of abuse.

Funny, I don't remember hearing anything about childrens' statements,
either. Where did you say you heard all this?
What *I* heard was that none of the children who left the compound early in
the seige exhibited any signs typical of abuse, physical or mental. This
from the newspaper and national TV news.
Did you also hear that it's the job of the BATF and the FBI to lay siege to
homes where child abuse is suspected? I thought you did.

Your logic just amazes me. I think your grandparents who died in

cavalierly you throw away people's protection of law because you think
they're "scary" and "not the sort of person you'd want your daughter to

I Love it how all of these people are "blaming" the Phillies success
on a weak division. Why don't we look at the record of the teams in
each division (READ: Inter-Divisional Play), we'll see that the East
is really kicking the shit out of the West. I know it is early, but
that is all we have to go on. Atlanta is just so strong with their
.188 BA, Cincinnati is 2-7 coming off a sweep at Veteran's Stadium in
Philadelphia, and Houston was swept in it's first three games by the
Phillies in the Astrodome. That, my Western Division friends, shows
that the three best teams in your division may not be as strong as you
think!!

Though I can't imagine WANTING to have intercourse during a full-blown
yeast infection :-) chances of it being transmitted to the male are quite
low, especially if he's circumcised. But it can happen.
At one point I was getting recurrent yeast infections and the Dr suspected
my boyfriend might have gotten it from me and be reinfecting me. The
prescription was interesting. For each day of the medication (a week) I
was to insert the medication, then to have intercourse. The resulting
action would help the medicine be spread around in me better, and would
simultaneously treat him.

Put like this, I can't answer. I was originally pointing out that your

tend to ignore all kinds of effects; your original posting stated that
when doing chemistry, it is common to ignore atomic interactions, and
I responded that this is exactly what chemists do.

Perhaps this revolution has yet to reach Cambridge (my, now I'll get
flamed for sure;-) ). But perhaps I am guilty of referring to
"true chemists" (tm) which are nothing but my ideal, and do not
actually exist. Chemistry is a very easy subject to treat poorly.

No, actually organic chemists were among the first chemists to use
modern MO theories for explaining reactions that did not fit into the
old models. In synthetic organic chemistry, which still comprises
a large part of organic chemistry, it is indeed common to ignore
the rest of the molecule and pay attention only to the functional
groups, but I think this, too, has changed with the advent of
molecular modelling and asymmetric synthesis. Supramolecular
interactions _can_ be taken into account, albeit with difficulty.

Perhaps because there is a connection here that is not there in the Mexican
variant you bring up.
That is, many (not all) extreme fundamentalist Christians use the excuse of
teaching their children Biblical morality to justify this sort of mistreatment.
I do not see many Mexicans using their Mexican heritage as an excuse for abuse.
It is indeed this judgemental, controlling legalism of many fundamentalist
Christians that has led me to reject that branch of our faith as not true
to the Gospel of Christ, the gospel of love.
I have seen this sort of thing too often, even amoung my own relatives, to
believe there is no relationship. Judgementalism often leads to overly
strict, and thus abusive, discipline of children.
[This is not restricted to just Christian fundamentalism, it is found in
many extreme sects of other legalistic religions].

I, too, am a Christian. But I do not condone the use of the Bible to justify
this sort of abuse. I believe that it is only by exposing the horrors of
the misapplication of the Biblical concept of discipline that such abuses
can be stopped.
Just because someone is also a Christian does not mean we must identify
eith them. This sort of sin needs to be made public.

This makes sense(radar pointed down), because almost every train I pass head-on that triggers
my radar detector does so more just after I have passed the front of the engine.
I get a little of the reflections as I am approaching and the instant I get to
the side of the first engine the detector receives a fairly strong signal for

I do hope that you are not suggesting that merely because a person
replies in an "acrid, angry and sarcastic" manner that this
demonstrates their 'non-christianity'? The simple fact is that there
is not a Christian on the face of the planet (that I know of!) that is
perfect. I have been known at times to have a fit of temper, or a
sulk, but this does not make me any the less a Christian.
One of the points of being a Christian (as I perceive it) is to become
MORE LIKE Christ. This statement inherently suggests that we ARE NOT
already like Christ. Jesus never unrighteously lost his temper. I
do. Jesus was perfect. I'm not.

You must understand that this is because Christians often forget to
treat others as our role-model - Christ - would. This is because we are
human and falible. I, for one, do not pretend to be infalible, and I
hope that my fellow-men will bear with me when I make mistakes. This
surely is not too much to ask, when I make every effort to bear with
_them_.
> You don't need any enemies. You already do yourselves the greatest harm.
And don't we know it!
> Again I say, foolish, foolish, foolish.
Again I say, we are ALL human!
To my brethren, this:
Ms Duticci has a valid point and we as Christians ought to heed the
warning in her article. We oftimes discredit ourselves and our
Saviour, in the way that we treat others. Strive towards the goal set
us by our Lord, but in the meantime, remember :
"There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ..."
When you blow it - go easy on yourself. Forgive yourself, as your
Father in heaven forgives you! And remember - and this is something I
firmly beieve and cling to - one day, we shall see Him face to face,
and in that day, we shall (finally!) be perfected.
I look forward to seeing you there.

Actually, if I were one of the survivors and wanted to institute a civil

the BATF/FBI itself was to blame for any mass hysteria/insanity...
without due process, the siegers shone lights, laser beams, multi-colored

everything from Tibetan Chant to Heavy Metal, and coupled with the fear,
the poor nutrition, the rampant paranoia, I'd say it was very likely
those poor nuts were made even nuttier. After all, isn't sleep deprivation,

There is a tool available to reset the service indicator on BMWs but the lights
will come back on after 2-3 weeks. The tool is in fact illegal (in Europe
atleast). It is often the case that the unsuspecting punter trots off to buy a
used BMW and a few weeks later, all the lights come on! Other than that, I know
of no other tool.... anyone else?
About changing oil every 15,000 miles.... thats ok.... on newer Audis, they
only require it after every 12,000 miles (I am talking about an oil change)
Just a query: do you drive your car VERY VERY carefully? Like no sudden
acceleration etc? If yeah, then the 15,000 M oil change seems quite reasonable.
But if you drive kinda fast... I'd get a bit up tight abot that 15,000 thingy
(a point to note: just because the first light came on at 3k, doesn't mean
all the others will come on every 3k too)

I have to say I think this is the first time there has
been something posted that opposed me without making personal
insults. Congradulations tim. I think the other people answered
you on most of the factual parts(esp. about the internal
conflicts policy).
Israel very often gets away with more
than most other nations (Due to U.S. vetos). While I am not
familiar with every instance I know that the reason Saudi
Arabia was not condemned for killig the pilgrims was that the
pilgrims were iranian. Yes, the UN is biased but mostly in
favor of the US and its allies (Including Israel, Saudi Arabia
and Pakistan) and against "Outlaw" countries like iran and more
recently Iraq. Far be it from me to support the repressive
governments there but I think they get more slack than Israel
for things they do "wrong". Again the reason some condemnations
don't occur lies in the race or country of the victims. The
gassed Iraqi kurds got associated with Iran in the war and
since Iran was perceived as worse than Iraq no condemnation
resulted. The palestinians killed by arab countries involved
another case of who cares. It seems that until very recently no
one cared about how many palestinians died anywhere (including
in Israel and the occupied territories).
Again I appreciate the lack of personal insults.

Maybe so, but it's quite common. There are millions of Macintosh users who
have no idea what's in Apple's patented ROMs. Many have modems connected.
How do you know all your business secrets aren't being stolen? Answer:
1. Because you trust Apple;
2. Because if any such attempt, however sophicsticated, came out, it would
destroy Apple's credibility forever.
Then there's also
3) Because it's NOT SECRET. If I want to, I CAN go look at Apple's
copyrighted ROMs in a Mac, so they're not keeping any secrets.
You don't even have to pry the top off the chip and use an electron microscope,
you just have to read the data in memory and see if you can figure out what it means.
(Motorola object code isn't all *that* obscure!)
Yes, it's copyrighted, so I can't go selling copies, or using the copy myself,
but I CAN see it, and disassemble it.
4) They're not asking me to trust their honesty. They're asking me to
trust the quality of their assembly language programming :-),
but I can see for myself what the performance, price, and crashes/day are.
NSA, an organization not known for its honesty or openness,
is asking me to trust them with my privacy, but they won't trust me. Feh!

I suspect you meant this in context of the Jewish tradition you have
been referring to; one problem with a highly-interpreted tradition
like this is what happens when a schism occurs, and over time certain
large and influential branches of the heretical group come to favor
exactly a "face value" interpretation...

While the context of the time is important, value judgments must
ultimately be according to current understanding, or at least to some
base standard (relative stability/success of a society, e.g.). This
is obviously true in comparing it to practices of surrounding people,
for instance: according to the Bible, the surrounding people were
immoral savages with repulsive and inhuman habits. We need to look
rather at what those peoples were *really* like. For instance, in
what way is it better to worship a single god whose presence is
symbolically strongest in a tent or temple over multiple gods some of
whose presence is symbolically represented in a statue? By the
Bible's own terms idolatry is inherently evil, but I see no evidence
that the followers of the various other religions of the area and time
were particularly bad people, relative to the people in the Bible.

Sounds good, but it presupposes teeth-rending neighbors, which I see
no support for. One can argue that post-facto assertion of inhumane
neighbors can be used to make moral points, but that doesn't mean that
the actual neighbors really were inhuman. More to the point, such
dehumanization of the people across the river or over the mountain, or
even of a different people dwelling among us, is all too common.

Note that I'm speaking of historical interpretation here, for instance
claiming that Hammurabi's "an eye for an eye" was primitive brutal
retribution, while Moses' version was an enlightened benign fine
(because the tradition has since interpreted the phrase that way). As
of 3000 years ago or so, they probably both meant the same thing.

I don't belittle the accomplishments, particularly the intellectual
ones, of the Jewish people. I have given up on trying to think by
analogy, since I don't know of any other 'tribe' that is at all
similar (the closest I can think of are the Romany, but I don't know
enough about them to make a meaningful comparison). I think a
tradition of reflective study, of flexible rather than dogmatic
interpretation, is a good thing. I think that with such an attitude a
case could be made that you could have done as well starting with a
1943 Captain America comic (or whatever the Babylonian equivalent
would have been).

Satan was one of God's highest ranking angels, like Uriel, Raphael,
Michael, and Gabriel. In fact, his name was Satanel. He did challenge
God's authority and got kicked out of heaven. A lot of the mythology
of Satan (he lost the -el suffix when he fell) comes from the
Book of Enoch and is not found in the bible.
Read the Book of Enoch, available thru bookstores, or get the book
called "Angels: an endangered species" (I think).

Come on fellows! The format is quite plainly explained in the manuals.
It's in the "Programmer's Reference, Volume 3: Messages, Structures,
and Macros" (MSC-Dev.kit for 3.1, should be also in the Borland's
manuals) pages 232-241 (depending what you need).
First there is the BITMAPFILEHEADER-struct then the BITMAPINFO which
contains the BITMAPINFOHEADER and the RGBQUAD and then the bitmap
data. AND there is also a example among the example files (MS_SDK).
Hope this helps....

While I applaud investing of money in Yehuda, Shomron, v'Chevel-Azza,
in order to create jobs for their residents, I find it deplorable that
this has never been an active policy of any Israeli administration
since 1967, *with regard to their Jewish residents*. Past governments
found funds to subsidize cheap (read: affordable) housing and the
requisite infrastructure, but where was the investment for creating
industry (which would have generated income *and* jobs)?
After 26 years, Yehuda and Shomron remain barren, bereft of even
middle-sized industries, and the Jewish settlements are sterile
"bedroom communities", havens for (in the main) Israelis (both
secular *and* religious) who work in Tel-Aviv or Jerusalem but
cannot afford to live in either city or their surrounding suburbs.
There's an old saying: "bli giboosh, ayn kivoosh" -- just living there
wasn't enough, we had to *really* settle it. But instead, we "settled"
for Potemkin villages, and now we are paying the price (and doing
for others what we should have done for ourselves).

check prep.ai.mit.edu. It's called fax-3.2.1.tar.Z or something to
that effect and is the software for netfax. Be forewarned that it
requires (at the moment) a fairly costly $450 fax modem with certain

My test movie was created at 320*240 resolution, it wasn't being scaled up.
Scaling was a very CPU-intensive operation with the original QuickTime (1.0);
the current version has optimizations for ratios like 4:1 (160*120 -> 320*240),
but even so, I'm prepared to believe that the performance isn't as good as
with playing back an actual 320*240 movie. I haven't done any numerical
measurements for scaled playback.

Larry L. Overacker writes, responding to Simon:
I may be interesting to see some brief selections posted to the
net. My understanding is that SSPX does not consider ITSELF in
schism or legitimately excommunicated. But that's really beside
the point. What does the Roman Catholic church say?
Excommunication can be real apart from formal excommunication, as
provided for in canon law.
Here's some of the theology involved for the interested.
There is confusion over this issue of the SSPX's "schism"; often the
basic problem is lack of an ability to distinguish between:
- true obedience
- false obedience
- disobedience
- schism
Take the various classifications of obedience first. There are 2
important elements involved here for my purposes:
1) a command
2) the response made to the command
As far as the command goes, commands can be LEGITIMATE, such as the
Pope ordering Catholics to not eat meat on Fridays. Or they can be
ILLEGITIMATE, such as the Pope ordering Catholics to worship the god
Dagon when every other full moon comes around.
As far as the response to a command goes, it can be to REFUSE to do
what is commanded, or to COMPLY.
Making a table, there are thus 4 possibilites:
command response name
-----------------------------------------------------
LEGITIMATE COMPLY true obedience
ILLEGITIMATE REFUSE true obedience
LEGITIMATE REFUSE disobedience
ILLEGITIMATE COMPLY false obedience
So now you see where my 3 classifications of obedience come from.
Obedience is not solely a matter of compliance/refusal. The nature of
the commands must also be taken into account; it is not enough to
consider someone's compliance or refusal and then say whether they are
"obedient" or "disobedient". You also have to take into consideration
whether the commands are good or bad.
In my example, if the Pope commands all Catholics to worship the god
Dagon, and they all refuse, they aren't being disobedient at all!
As far as the Society of Saint Pius X goes, they are certainly
refusing to comply with certain things the Pope desires. But that
alone is insufficient to allow one to label them "disobedient". You
also have to consider the nature of the Papal desires.
And there's the rub: SSPX says the Popes since Vatican II have been
commanding certain very bad things for the Church. The Popes have of
course disagreed.
So where are we? Are we in another Arian heresy, complete with weak
Popes? Or are the SSPX priests modern Martin Luthers? Well, the only
way to answer that is to examine who is saying what, and what the
traditional teaching of the Church is.
The problem here is that very few Catholics have much of an idea of
what is really going on, and what the issues are. The religion of
American Catholics is especially defective in intellectual depth. You
will never read about the issues being discussed in the Catholic press
in this country. (On the other hand, one Italian Catholic magazine I
get -- 30 Days -- has had interviews with the Superior General of the
Society of Saint Pius X.)
Many Catholics will decide to side with the Pope. There is some
soundness in this, because the Papacy is infallible, so eventually
some Pope *will* straighten all this out. But, on the other hand,
there is also unsoundness in this, in that, in the short term, the
Popes may indeed be wrong, and such Catholics are doing nothing to
help the situation by obeying them where they're wrong. In fact, if
the situation is grave enough, they sin in obeying him. At the very
least, they're wasting a great opportunity, because they are failing
to love Christ in a heroic way at the very time that He needs this
badly.
Schism... let's move on to schism. What is it?
Schism is a superset of disobedience (refusal to obey a legitimate
command). All schismatics are disobedient. But it's a superset, so
it doesn't work the other way around: not all disobeyers are
schismatics. The mere fact that the SSPX priests don't comply with
the Holy Father's desires doesn't make them schismatics.
So what is it that must be added to disobedience to constitute a
schism? Maybe this something else makes the SSPX priests schismatics.
You must add this: the rejection of the right to command. Look in any
decent reference on Catholic theology, and that's what you'll find:
the distinguishing criterion of schism is rejection of the right to
command.
Here's what the Catholic Encyclopedia says, for example:
... not every disobedience is a schism; in order to possess this
character it must include besides the trangression of the commands
of superiors, denial of their Divine right to command.
(from the CE article "Schism")
Is the Society of Saint Pius X then schismatic? The answer is a clear
no: they say that the Pope is their boss. They pray for him every
day. And that's all that matters as far as schism goes.
What all this boils down to is this: if we leave aside the
consideration of the exact nature of their objections, their position
is a legitimate one, as far as the Catholic theology of obedience and
schism goes. They are resisting certain Papal policies because they
think that they are clearly contrary to the traditional teaching of
the Papacy, and the best interests of the Church. (In fact, someone
who finds himself in this situation has a *duty* to resist.)
Now, what is the stance of Rome on all this? Well, if you read the
Holy Father's motu proprio "Ecclesia Dei", you can find out. It's the
definitive document on the subject. A motu proprio is a specifically
Papal act. It's not the product of a Roman congregation, a letter
that the Pope has possibly never even read. It's from the Pope
himself. His boss is God... there's no one else to complain to.
In this document, the Holy Father says, among other things:
1) The episcopal consecrations performed by Archbishop Lefebvre
constituted a schismatic act.
2) Archbishop Lefebvre's problem was a misunderstanding of the nature
of Tradtion.
Both are confusing: I fail to see the logic of the Pope's points.
As far as the episcopal consecrations go, I read an interesting
article in a translation of the Italian magazine "Si Si No No". It
all gets back to the question of jurisdiction. If episcopal
consecrations imply rejection of the Pope's jurisdiction, then they
would truly constitute a schismatic act, justifying excommunication
under the current code of canon law. But my problem with this is
this: according to the traditional theology of Holy Orders, episcopal
consecration does not confer jurisdiction. It only confers the power
of Order: the ability to confect the Sacraments. Jurisdiction must be
conferred by someone else with the power to confer it (such as the
Pope). The Society bishops, knowing the traditional theology quite
well, take great pains to avoid any pretence of jurisdiction over
anyone. They simply confer those Sacraments that require a bishop.
The "Si Si No No" article was interesting in that it posited that the
reason that the Pope said what he did is that he has a novel,
post-Vatican II idea of Holy Orders. According to this idea,
episcopal consecration *does* confer jurisdiction. I lent the article
to a friend, unfortunately, so can't tell you more. I believe they
quoted the new code of canon law in support of this idea.
The Pope's thinking on this point remains a great puzzle to me.
There's no way there is a schism, according to traditional Catholic
theology. So why does the Pope think this?
As far as the points regarding the nature of Tradition goes, here's
the passage in question:
The root of this schismatic act can be discerned in an incomplete
and contradictory notion of Tradtion. Incomplete, because it does
not take sufficiently into the account the living character of
Tradition, which, as the Second Vatican Council clearly taught,
comes from the apostles and progresses in the Church with the
help of the Holy Spirit. There is a growth in insight into
the realities and words that are being passed on. This comes
about in various ways. It comes through the contemplation and
study of believers who ponder these things in their hearts.
It comes from the intimate sense of spiritual realities which
they experience. And it comes from the preaching of those who
have received, along with their right of succession in the
espiscopate, the sure charism of truth.
But especially contradictory is a notion of Tradition which
opposes the universal Magisterium of the Church possessed by the
Bishop of Rome and the body of bishops. It is impossible to
remain faithful to the Tradition while breaking the ecclesial bond
with him to whom, in the person of the Apostle Peter, Christ
himself entrusted the ministry of unity in His Church.
(Papal motu proprio "Ecclesia Dei", 2 July 1988)
It seems to me that the Holy Father is making two points here that can
be simplified to the following:
- Vatican Council II has happened.
- I am the Pope.
The argument being that either case is sufficient to prove that
Archbishop Lefebvre must be wrong, because he disagrees with them.
This is weak, to say the least!
It would have helped clarify things more if the Pope had addressed
Archbishop Lefebvre's concerns in detail. What is John Paul II's
stand on the social Kingship of Christ, as taught by Gregory XVI, Pius
IX, Leo XIII, Pius XI and Pius XII, for example? Are we supposed to
ignore what all these Popes said on the subject?
I don't know what the future will hold, but the powers that be in the
SSPX are still talking with Rome and trying to straighten things out.
--------------------------------------------------------------
[Many people would prefer to call a justified refusal to obey
"justified disobedience" or even "obeying God rather than man".
Calling a refusal to obey obedience puts us into a sort of Alice in
Wonderland world where words mean whatever we want them to mean.
Similarly, schism indicates a formal break in the church. If the Pope
says that a schism exists, it seems to me that by definition it
exists. It may be that the Pope is on the wrong side of the break,
that there is no good reason for the break to exist, and that it will
shortly be healed. But how can one deny that it does in fact exist?
It seems to me that you are in grave danger of destroying the thing
you are trying to reform: the power of the papacy. What good will it
do you if you become reconciled to the the Pope in the future, but in
the process, you have destroyed his ability to use the tools of church
discipline? It's one thing to hold that the Pope has misused his
powers, and excommunicated someone wrongly. It's something else to
say that his excommunication did not take effect, and the schism is
all in his imagination. That means that acts of church discipline are
not legal tools, but acts whose validity is open to debate. Generally
it has been liberal Catholics who have had problems with the Pope.
While they have often objected to church sanctions, generally they
have admitted that the sanctions exist. You are now opening the door
to people simply ignoring papal decisions, claiming to be truly
obeying by disobeying, and to be in communion while excommunicated.
This would seem to be precisely the denial of Divine right to command
that you say defines schism.

I've got the 6.0 spec (obviously since I quoted it in my last posting).
My gripe about TIFF is that it's far too complicated and nearly
infinitely easier to write than to read, which I think hurts your
acceptance by anything that will need to read those images (e.g.,
paint programs).
In a nutshell, I don't think TIFF is salvageable unless the fat is
trimmed significantly- and then it wouldn't be TIFF anymore. They
keep trying to cut it back, but it's late now. Maybe they >will< fix it,
and change that magic number to signify the lack of compatibility.
That would probably make me happy.

You'll find that in Allen, C.W., "Astrophysical Quantities", Athlone
Press, Dover, NH, 3rd edition, pp. 268-269 (1973). To the accuracy it can
be calculated (see specific references in Allen about how it is
calculated), the temperature is 3 degrees K.
Lots of people have remarked on this temperature. The first may have
been in Eddington's book, "Internal Constitution of Stars", Ch. 13 (1926;
reprinted 1986), where he gives the "temperature of space" as 3 degrees.
The source of this temperature is the radiation of starlight.

To the accuracy of measurement, it's the same temperature. Some of us
think this may not be a coincidence. -|Tom|-

The fact that Reno is actually taking responsibility (gee--that's a new
one for a politician) is a new thing for a member of Clinton's administration.
I actually respect her for having a backbone ( I never thought I'd say
that about someone from that bunch).
The way I understand what happened is that she discussed with Clinton
what was being planned for Waco. Clinton didn't say no, so gave de
facto approval for the operation. Things got messed up, and a lot of
people died horrible deaths. (if I am incorrect about this, please
feel free to correct it. This is just what I've been able to pick
up.)
I've just got a couple of questions about this whole thing.
(1) Why did the government feel they needed to assault that compound?
(2) Why didn't they try to flush them out in the first week of
this fiasco instead of waiting 50 days.
(3) Janet Reno jumped up to take responsibilty to take heat away
from the President. Does this sound anything like what a couple
of Reagan's aides did?

Yes and No. ESPN2 will be launched as early in September. Cap Cities
are currently working with cable companies to ensure a good start-up
base needed for a launch for any brand new cable service.
The problem ESPN2 faces is the TCI-Cablevision connection in the
merger of their Prime and SportsChannel networks. Prime SportsChannel
will try to wrestle away NHL from ESPN in the off-season. Also,TCI
and Cablevision have control a large number of cable systems around the
country with a total of 15 million subscribers. TCI-Cablevision will
do their best that ESPN2 never gets off the ground successfully. And the
NHL's value will suddenly skyrocket in this cable war between Prime SC
and ESPN. NHL is more vital to the survival of a regionalized Prime
SportsChannel since they virtually have no national major league sports
contracts and only cover local NHL/NBA/MLB sports teams.

I find this argument very strange, though not unfamiliar.
An analogy someone used a while back can perhaps illustrate it.
Say, for example, there are people living on a volcanic island, and a group
of geologists determine that a volcano is imminent. They warn the people on
the island that they are in danger, and should leave. A group of people on
the island is given the task of warning others of the danger.
They believe the danger is real, but others may not.
Does that mean that the first group are NECESSARILY arrogant in warning
others of the danger? Does it mean that they are saying that their beliefs
are correct, and all others are false?
Some might indeed react to opposition with arrogance, and behave in an
arrogant manner, but that is a personal idiocyncracy. It does not
necessarily mean that they are all arrogant.

Yes, very true. The entire title is 'The Ancient and Mystical Order

They are considered different and largely unrelated by a number of
sources. I've seen documentation which links them through the figure
of H. Spencer Lewis. Lewis was apparently involved with Reuss, who
was the O.H.O. of Ordo Templi Orientis for many years. Apparently it
is also true that Lewis had a charter to form an O.T.O. body and then
created A.M.O.R.C. (as a subsidiary? an interesting question).

In many of our cities, there are traffic signals every 100 feet (unsynchronised,
of course (well here in Ottawa anyway)) and the roads are so congested that
shifting manually is a real pain in the left foot. Also, most Canadians are
too stupid to learn how to shift manually (gee, I gotta co-ordinate my two
feet on the clutch, brake _and_ accelerator, and I gotta steer, shift _and_
operate the signals (optional) and radio with my two hands... duh... it
can't be done). Also, most North American made cars come with the automatic
as standard equipment, so why bother with a manual when the car can shift
for you for no addition money.

No kidding. The most recent post I saw in alt.privacy.clipper (and I

Check with the local fire department. My buddy is a firefighter and they
have these small map books which are Amazing! They are compact, easy to
use (no folding). They even have a cross reference section in which you
match your current cross streets with the cross streets you want to go to
and it details the quickest route. They gave me an extra they had laying
around. But then again I know all those people I'm not really sure if they
are supposed to give/sell them. (The police may also have something
similar).

Deltabox (tm) is a registered trademark of Yamaha, used to describe

In cross-section, it has a five-sided appearance, so it probably really
should be called a "Pentabox".

First of all let's assume that you are right that fewer guns would make it
in to the country, that sounds great (to those that see guns as inherently
evil) except then every one of those guns would be in the hands of someone
who obviously couldn't care less about following the law, after all they
got the gun illegally, so is more likely to commit a crime with that gun.
Great then everyone with a gun is likely to use it in a crime, nice system.
Now as to reducing the number of guns coming into society by making it
illegal to manufacture, sell, or import them in this coutry, let me use
a parallel for empiric evidence. The amount of cocaine in this country is
far less since its manufacture, sale, and importation was out lawwed. If
that last statement is true then perhaps we should consider your plan. This
could also apply to drugs in general.

Not only are they not objective, but they don't even stay constant
over time. A young farmer and an old farmer on the verge of
retirement have quite different ideas about the relative values of
a piece of land and a dollar bill.
Similarly, a person viewing an anonymous piece of land, and a
person viewing a piece of land that his family has lived on for
generations.
These values are essentially subjective, and that's why we have
markets: to allow people to match their valuations of land and
dollar bills.

In 1967, when I was a grad student at UW in Seattle I had a chance to
read Hoover's book "Masters of Deceit", and I quote a sentence (from
memory):
"and beware my fellow Americans, a communist may look just as an
ordinary person..."
I went to the mirror and it was true.

Also, Alomar got a FAR greater boost from his home park than Baerga did from
his. And "six or seven home runs"? Hmm.
So, if you wanted to pick a second baseman to play in Toronto, you'd take
Alomar. Anywhere else, and you'd probably take Baerga.

Someone else said something similar. I will not comment on the
value or lack of value of Elias's "proposal". I just want to say
that it is very distressing that at least two people here are
profoundly ignorant of Nazi racial doctrine. They were NOT
like Elias's idea, they were more like the opposite.
Nazis believed in racial purity, not racial assimilation. An
instructive example is the Nazi attitude to Gypsies. According to
Nazi theoreticians, Gypsies were an Aryan race. They were persecuted,
and in huge numbers murdered, because most European Gypies were
considered not pure Gypsies but "mongrels" formed from the pure Gypsy
race and other undesirable races. This was the key difference between
the theoretical approach to Jews and Gypsies, by the way. It is also
true that towards the end of WWII even the "purist" Gypsies were
hunted down as the theory was forgotten.

I is a strong deterent to the teens that are executed. They won't do that
again! This policy cuts way down on repeat offenders.
Please do not flame me - I don't agree with capital punishment for teen's.

They are also unsupervised. With proper supervision, they would not be
throwing rocks. If parents cannot provide the minimal supervision needed
to stop this activity, they should not be allowed to have children :-)

I have heard that there is something called a $25.00 Network that allows
two PC's to be networked by joining their serial ports. Does someone out
there know anything about this? I would greatly appreciate e-mail on this!
Thanks! tschewe@first.etc.bc.ca

Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there knows of any books that give helpful
hints and tips on writing thesis papers in WfW. I know about the dissertation
template that comes with word but I want more. I would like to have tips on
how to use all the {seq ...} , {bookmark ...} , {index ...} , { chapter ...},
fields that are available in word. I have looked through the help files,etc.
but they really don't explain a whole lot. I will post the results(That means
email me first) if I get a lot of different suggestions since I think this
might be of help to lots of crazy grad students such as myself. Thanks.

p.s. How do you change the font that Help uses when printing a topic? The
default is so choppy and hard to read.

I assume you are saying that no-knock warrants are 'unreasonable', this
is a matter of opinion and is not a CLEAR violation of the 4th
admendment. You say that 'this is a country of laws' yet you seem very
willing to ignore these laws, or at least those you disagree with,
and respond to a legal situation with 'blazing guns'. Like it or not,
as it stands now no-knock warrants are legal. If you don't like this
there are legal means to fight this including contacting your
congresspersons about changing the law; and, if it happens to you,
fighting its legality in court.
